FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to wireless communication. A method for reporting power headroom is disclosed. Power headroom may be reported for all carriers (wideband), for a specific carrier or for a carrier group. The formula used to calculate the power headroom depends on whether the carrier (or a carrier in a carrier group) has a valid uplink grant. If the carrier or carrier group does not have a valid uplink grant, the power headroom may be calculated based on a reference grant. The power headroom is calculated by a wireless transmit/receive unit and is reported to an eNodeB.
EFFECT: estimating and reporting representative information on power headroom (PH) when multiple carriers are allocated for WTRU in a LTE-A system and improved transmission and signalling of information on PH to support efficient PH reporting in LTE-A.
